In fact, it is said that Cleopatra was not a great beauty. Apparently, she didn’t need to be! What a lesson to us all, in this day and age of the image. Given the choice we all have, isn’t it an exciting challenge to make up where the Gods left off? Or perhaps the Gods were specific in their intentions, inciting us to inform ourselves with character and spiritual health.

Cleopatra was Greek. She came from a line of rulers called the Ptolemy, whose reign began at the fall of Alexander the Great. Cleopatra was not only the last of the Egyptian Pharaohs, she was the only one to take the time to learn the Egyptian language.
Early on, she co-ruled with her two brothers, both of whom she married.

Cleopatra won the heart of Julius Caesar, after escaping a near execution from one of those brothers, by presenting herself, rolled up in a fine Persian carpet at Caesar’s feet. Their love affair carried on until his murder.

Though she bore him a son, "Cesarion", the Roman climate did not allow him the throne, and the co-ruler ship fell to Caesar's nephew, Octavion, and (much to Cleopatra's delight) Mark Antony. Oh my what a delicious fellow he was!
